As my CURRENT plan is to paddle through Deux Rivieres nine days from now, Tom's comment, below, quoted from another thread caught my interest:

"I'd originally planned to go Stanton Bay thru the B-chain to Oliphaunt & somehow out Walter/Jesse, etc.  With just me & my 3 kids going, I wanted easy/medium/hard route options.  "Easy" was to bail out thru Deux Riviers -- but I hear that's a 2 hour mud-slog, so that was enough to tip me over to my other close-contender route, BH-Nym."

Can anyone confirm the status of Deux Rivieres?  Am I better off heading south through the B's & Oliphaunt after I enter at Stanton Bay?  We're headed to Sturgeon Narrows that first day.  The B's would take longer but are prettier.  

Is the water level really that low or have the beavers really gotten that bad?  It's probably been 3 years since I've been through....

Any update on conditions through there would be appreciated!
